GDELT Visualization Tool

Visualize GDELT Events on a Map

A map-first, AI-enriched way to explore GDELT global events — geolocated, severity-ranked, and overlaid on satellite imagery. Browse the latest world events free on the Delta Watchfloor.

Open the Watchfloor How it works

Quick Answer: Off-Nadir Delta is a map-first GDELT visualization tool. It turns GDELT global events into geolocated, AI-enriched, severity-ranked signals you can filter by category and time — and overlay on Sentinel satellite imagery. Browsing is free and needs no account or code; the GDELT Project is credited as the event data source.

Geolocated Events

Every event is placed on a map so patterns and hotspots are visible at a glance.

AI-Enriched

Readable titles, locations, and severity scores turn raw event codes into clear signals.

Filter by Category & Time

Kinetic, armed conflict, maritime, humanitarian, protest, diplomacy — over 24h, 72h, or 7 days.

Imagery Overlay

Overlay Sentinel-1/2 imagery on events to see the ground, not just the data point.

Timeline & History

Scrub back through activity to understand how a situation developed over time.

Free to Browse

No setup and no code — the event feed is public on the Watchfloor.

From Raw GDELT Data to a Readable Map

The GDELT Project codes global news into a vast, open event database — extraordinarily rich, but built for querying rather than at-a-glance reading. Off-Nadir Delta translates that firehose into a map-first view: events become Delta Signals — geolocated, AI-enriched with readable titles and severity, and grouped into clear categories.

The result is fast situational awareness. Filter to what matters, see where it is happening, and then overlay satellite imagery of the affected area — connecting open-source event data to satellite evidence in one workflow. See it on the Delta Watchfloor.

How It Works

Open the Watchfloor

See the latest GDELT-derived event signals worldwide on a live map — geolocated and ready to explore, with no setup or downloads.

Filter by category, severity, and time

Narrow to what matters — kinetic, armed conflict, maritime, humanitarian, protest, or diplomacy — over a 24h, 72h, or 7-day window.

Read AI-enriched details

Each event carries an AI-generated title, location, and severity score, so a raw event code becomes a readable signal.

Overlay satellite imagery

Move from an event to Sentinel-1/2 imagery of the affected area — the event-to-imagery (tip-and-cue) workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GDELT Project?▼

The GDELT Project (Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone) is an open initiative that monitors global news media and codes events — what happened, where, and who was involved — into a continuously updated database. It is a widely used open source for geopolitical and security event data.

How does Off-Nadir Delta visualize GDELT data?▼

Off-Nadir Delta turns GDELT events into Delta Signals: geolocated points on a map, AI-enriched with readable titles, locations, and severity scores, grouped into categories, and continuously refreshed. You can filter by category, severity, and time window, and overlay events on satellite imagery — all in the browser, with no code.

Is it free to use?▼

Yes — browsing the GDELT-derived event feed on the Delta Watchfloor is free and requires no account. Deeper capabilities like "what changed since you last looked," longer history, and AI remote-sensing deep-dives are available on paid plans or metered by tokens. See the pricing page for details.

How is this different from raw GDELT tools?▼

Raw GDELT outputs are powerful but can be hard to read and require technical setup to query and map. Off-Nadir Delta provides a curated, map-first, AI-enriched view ranked by severity, with category and time filters and a satellite-imagery overlay — designed for fast situational awareness rather than database querying.

Can I connect GDELT events to satellite imagery?▼

Yes. That is a core differentiator: from a geolocated GDELT event you can pull Sentinel-1 SAR or Sentinel-2 optical imagery of the affected area and monitor it over time. This tip-and-cue workflow links open-source event data to satellite evidence.

Is the event data attributed?▼

Yes. Event data is powered by the GDELT Project and credited wherever it is shown. The tool is intended for situational awareness and is not for tracking or targeting individuals.
